Old School Survival Horror - Get Ready to Lose Your Mind

So for the fans of the the 2010 horror game, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, would be pleased to know that the spiritual successor Amnesia: Machine for Pigs, is due to release within the next month or two according to developers.

Now what does this mean for normal players like you and me?  Not a whole lot, unless you are like myself, who enjoys playing scary games [and regretting every moment whilst playing the game]. This also means a ton of scare cam reaction shots are bound to make their way to youtube. Which means annoying personalities like Pewdiepie will be posting a million reaction videos but that does mean that normal cams of people playing this will surface.

-this one here is a classic-

For those unfamiliar with this game series, let me provide you a quick background. The first game follows a man named Daniel, who is experiencing memory loss [hence, the amnesia] and lost inside of a Russian manor. Notes are scattered around the mansion/castle that give insight of who you were and why you have no memory of past events. During this time you are pursued by a darkness [which is pretty much like it sounds, but deadly] and some monsters that hunt you if you stray in the light. Its a game that emphasizes risks and hiding in the shadows, and hopefully, when this sequel debuts in a few weeks, it will bring back old school horror in the most terrifying way possible.

Amnesia: Machine for Pigs arrives this summer 2013
